The former presidentā€™s anger during the first week of his New York hush money trial was ā€œmaxed out, even for him,ā€ a source tellsĀ Rolling Stone

Donald Trump, if you take it from him, is cherishing the opportunity to stand trial on criminal charges related to a hush-money payment to a porn star. ā€œIā€™m very proud to be here,ā€ he told reporters before heading into court on Monday, calling the proceedings anĀ ā€œassault on Americaā€Ā that his presence, presumably, would serve to expose. ā€œIā€™m very honored to be here,ā€ the former president added.

Trump hasnā€™t been taking to martyrdom very well behind the scenes, though, three sources with knowledge of the matter tellĀ Rolling Stone. He has privately raged over everything from reports that heĀ canā€™t stop dozing off, to how the courtĀ sketchĀ artist is rendering him, to late-night talk show hosts joking about his legal troubles. The former president is reaching levels of fury over the judicial process and all it entails that are ā€œmaxed out, even for him,ā€ says one source who has had to personally endure Trumpā€™s recent rantings about his trial.

      So how long before we hear about New York courtroom random sketch artists getting death threats?

      If I understood anything about the MAGA people is that they are fast at getting angry but slow at understanding what they should be angry aboutā€¦

          Back after the pussy grabber tape came out, a MAGoo woman went on the TV show The View to defend Donnie. One of the panelists kept saying ā€˜pussyā€™ over and over. Finally the MAGoo snapped and demanded that the other woman stop using that offensive term.

          They donā€™t blame God for sending the earthquake, they get mad at the builder for not making their house stronger.

            Donā€™t know if the panelist that kept saying ā€˜pussyā€™ was deliberately baiting her into revealing her hypocrisy, but if they were then fucking bravo.
